Harrowgate

Harrowgate is a neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1784 by American Revolutionary War veteran Captain George Esterly, who copied its name from a spa in England; Benjamin Rush found the local spring water to be healthful, and Esterly established a spa. Harrowgate later became a working-class Irish community, but, by 2010, it was 48.5% Hispanic (mostly Puerto Rican), 34.5% white, 10% African-American, 4.1% Asian, and 2.9% other.
